Summit Condos #106A - New Day Dawns
New Day Dawns condo is conveniently located across the street from Snowshoe Village with easy access to the central ski area including the Skidder Ski School area.
(Here is a Google exact location marker ... https://goo.gl/maps/WDZBgrqu232q3Uhp6 )
A FREE shuttle picks up just outside the condo adjacent to the parking area for Summit. You will be given two parking passes for your vehicles. (There is an overflow parking lot not far away for an extra vehicle.) New Day Dawns is located on the first floor which is one flight of stairs down from the parking area (or a short walk to the side where there are two steps). The unit is NOT “handicap accessible” but could be negotiated by some with physical limitations.
Upon entering, a “lock-out” area is available for ski gear and clothing after your day skiing or boarding. A second door opens into the hallway where you will find 3 bedrooms (1-Q, 1-F/D, & 2-Twins) and 2 full baths for your stay. Fresh quality linens adorn the beds (duvet system) and a healthy selection of pillows of varying firmness are provided. This condo accommodates up to 8 people (if you wish to add up to 2 more, this must be approved by the owner). Bathrooms have linens and basic supplies though you should bring your favorite soaps and shampoos. In the hallway, a washer/dryer is available for your use (please bring your own detergent and dryer sheets). Extra linens and pillows are also located on the linen shelves next to the W/D..
The living room is spacious with a comfortable couch that expands into a queen-sized bed for an additional guest. An inflatable queen-sized mattress is also available. Rounding out the room is a leather double recliner couch, coffee table, and side tables. A beautiful and functional gas fireplace is there for your use to provide just the right temperature for your group chats or while you watch movies or cable TV on the flat-screen TV. Wifi and cable are provided.
The dining room is small and seats 6 comfortably, but there is also seating for three at the kitchen bar. A pantry is provided in this area to store items for your meals. The Kitchen is galley-style with all amenities: coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, stovetop/oven, mixer, blender, a smaller slow-cooker, and a few more items to make those hearty and yummy meals. Basic spices are provided and you are welcome to leave behind any non-perishable cooking supplies as a gift for future guests. Basic kitchen-related items are provided (dish & dishwasher detergent, garbage bags, coffee filters, etc.) There are plenty of pots, pans, and utensils to make things easy for you. I would suggest bringing your own omelet pan or other “necessary” cookware as nothing is like what you love using at home ;) … but I try to provide quality items as backups. A landline phone is also made available as mobile service is negligible on Snowshoe Mountain.
One of the best parts of Snowshoe’s Summit Condos, besides being conveniently located to the Village, is the amazing western views! A deck is just outside the Living Room through a large glass door that reveals the setting sun, dropping over the western mountains and dark green conifers adorning the valley below (the last few photos were shot from the deck). Four deck chairs and table are available (along with using the dining room chairs) to gather together for drinks on the deck. PLEASE NOTE: the hot tub, pools, and sauna are communal and are located in the Village at Split Rock Pools and Sauna and there is a $16.20 fee, per person. Check it out here ...

A community fire pit is available just a bit down from the unit for an evening of hanging out by a fire. From here you can also see the occasional deer or snowshoe hare moving along the back of the condos at the edge of the woods. Quiet, beauty, and relaxation all await you at New Day Dawns Condo.
RATES & AVAILABILITY: Weekends will probably fill up fast so decide soon. Lower rates are available for weekdays and there is a nice discount for weekly or longer stays. I do make special “last minute” deals to fill the unit so just check in with me if you have a sudden urge to get away and you see a few open days that work for you. (Choose “Inquiry” along with dates.)
EARLY & LATE DEPARTURES: If we can accommodate an early arrival or a late departure, we are happy to do so. Some folks like to ski the day they arrive or the day they depart and we want to help you squeeze every drop of powder out of your stay! Just communicate as early as you can and we will attempt to make that happen for you. Additional Fees do apply.
ACCESS: We offer a "no-touch" check-in. The door is an electronic code door lock that will be pre-set for your visit, using the last 4 digits of the VRBO guest's phone number on file. If the lock should malfunction, there is a “realtor box” between the storm door and the front door with a spare key, set to a code that will be communicated before check-in.
COVID Concerns: be sure to check with the mountain about restrictions and cancelations. Refunds (or a reduced rate) will be made available should operations of the mountain be officially stopped. Check on the tickets that are available before you book your lodging reservation. Holiday tickets and lodging sell out VERY quickly! Check for other COVID-related restrictions on the Snowshoe Mountain website.
This is my forth year renting this unit and I hope your stay will be memorable (in a positive way!) The unit is one of the Summit original style units with lots of wood and nostalgia … it is not like the modern home-style units offered elsewhere (see photos). It is family-friendly, clean, well-maintained, and should prove to be a very comfortable stay. If you have suggestions as to how I could make your next stay better, please let me know. If something is not right with the unit, you can call my service number (located near the phone) and I will do my best to meet your needs. Also, I will be offering a “frequent flyer” discount for returning guests, so start planning for next winter, create and "Inquiry" which will alert me and then I will contact you with a discount BEFORE you book.
SUMMER-TIME! Be sure to consider a summer visit (NOTE: CLOSED FOR THE SUMMER OF 2024 ... SUMMIT IS GETTING A MUCH NEEDED FACELIFT!) Snowshoe in the summer is lovely with warm days and cool nights. There are many close attractions like the Greenbrier River Trailhead, Bald Knob Observation Deck, and the railway town of Cass with its wood-fired steam locomotive scenic rides through the West Virginia mountains. Less than 2 hours away are the amazing Greenbrier Hotel and the now-decommissioned Greenbrier Bunker, once a top-secret Federal Gov’t national emergency shelter for the Whitehouse and Congress … hidden for 30 years from the public in plain sight!
Other notable amenities are available at Snowshoe:
⁃ Silver Creek for alternative day skiing, night skiing, and tubing (again, FREE shuttle out front all day until after the close of Silver Creek)
⁃ Split Rock Pools, sauna & hot tubs (fee)
⁃ The Big Top, an indoor play space for the kiddos (fee)
⁃ Shops and Restaurants, Ski/Board gear shops, nightlife … all in the Village, just a short (but invigorating!) walk from Summit Condos. Information can be found at
